Notes
To store leftover brisket, cut into 1 to 1 1/2 pound pieces and vacuum seal. If you don't have a vacuum sealer, wrap in 4 layers of plastic wrap plus a layer of foil.
Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. Make sure to label with the contents and date.
Reheat brisket in a pan with 1 tablespoon of water or beef broth over medium heat, flipping after about 2 minutes to warm on both sides.
Brisket can be reheated with bbq sauce over medium heat for sandwiches.
